Types of metal colors

• Satin White

Thickness: .012” or .005″
Brightness: 88%

Satin White is aluminium coated with a white layer that allows for a very durable print with a white base. This surface is great for images with high detail and with no need for the light to reflect back through the ink. Satin White gives the look of paper with the durability of aluminium.

• Brushed Silver 

Thickness: .020”

Brushed Silver is less reflective than Satin Silver and has the appearance of a grain like structure – great for artwork with patterns or textures.

• Matte Silver

Thickness: .012” or .005″

Under certain lights, Matte Silver gives a yellowish appearance. The light reflects back through the ink on the matte surface giving a more subdued look. The Matte Silver is great for images that require detail without the appearance of the image lifting off of the metal surface.

• Satin Silver

Thickness: .012” or .005″

Satin Silver can transform artwork or photography, due to the fact that the surface has a true lustre giving it a gloss look. The ink sits on top of the metal, as with all of these metals, but the Satin Silver reflects light back through the ink more so than any of the other metals. The Satin Silver gives an appearance of Ilfochrome because the image appears to be jumping off of the metal surface. There is a very fine grain structure to this metal, which allows for a detailed image.

• Satin Gold

Thickness: .012”

Satin Gold plated aluminium has the appearance of a cross between 24k gold and brass. The underlying colour mutes saturated colour photographs but lends itself very well to black and white. It also works well with desaturated artwork or photography. There is a very fine grain structure to this metal, which allows for a detailed image.
